I did a cursory google search and couldn't come up with much. Does anyone know if Swarovski sells hunts on their revier? I saw a couple tv shows where Morey and the game keepers were taking American clients. I am guessing this is all promotional? | ||

Swarovski's hunting lease is called the Gnadenwad, in the Alps near Absam (A) where the factory is located. To my knowledge, there is no commercial activity and hunting is reserved to the Swarovski family, the management and/or their honoured guests. Some are (very) lucky to be counted among the latter .

I had an invitation from Swarovski to hunt a marmot in the Gschnitz area (about 1 hour from Absam away http://www.titanium-gunworks.de//fotogalerie.html | |||

Thanks MOA, I was really lucky indeed. We had planned 3 days x 2 outings and I was granted permission for a class I buck (great but it also means passing up all lesser ones). I got my opportunity during the evening outing of the 1st day. 14 years old and the best local buck known at the time. Here's a pic of me holding the head to show relative size. And here's a pic from the hotel folder showing the place. The red circle indicates the hotel on the outskirt of Absam. The arrow shows the location where the buck was shot (2500 meters) and the distant town in the background is Innsbrück.

Andre yes wonderful animal. I love old Gams! Klaus, I don't know why, maybe because marmots are poor mans wild sheep. But I absolutly love hunting them. Alaska is one of the only western states where they are managed like game. You can not just shoot them, you have to do somethingw the hide or meat. Most of the Western USA they are treated as vermin, and I don't agree with that. Though they are hell on agriculture. | |||

Klaus, You should write up a little report of your hunt, and a photo of your tropohy for those of us that are living vicariously through your hunting experiences with Austrian Murmels! | |||
